Input tab (Menu step)
Use the Input tab of the Menu customizer window to set the timeout setting, maximum number of retries, and Flush Input Buffer options.

The following table describes the properties of the Input tab of the Menu customizer window:
Properties / Buttons |
Description |
---|---|
Timeout |
Variable or expression indicating the amount of time the system waits for input from the caller. When this timer expires, the system either replays the prompt or plays the system prompt that asks if the caller is still there. |
Maximum Retries |
Variable indicating the number of times the entry can be restarted after a timeout or invalid input response. After the maximum number of retries is reached, the Menu step continues on the Timeout or Unsuccessful output branches depending on whether the last try timed out or an invalid input response was entered. A “0” value means that no retry is allowed; in this case, the script must handle the retry scenario. |
Flush Input Buffer |
Radio button. Yes—The system erases previously entered input before capturing caller input. No—The system does not erase previously entered input before capturing caller input. |
